VIRES® is a publication of the Florida State University Alumni Association.

Jon Kohler (B.S. ’91) considers himself a “gatekeeper” to the Red Hills – 300,000 acres in northern Florida and southern Georgia. As the most successful broker of these lands, he vets potential buyers, weeding out not only those who would develop the land, but those who might not subscribe to the full – and expensive – program of prescribed fire and forest management required to maintain the local ecology.

Whether they are just beginning to consider what type of business to start or are already making sales, the students of FSU’s new Jim Moran School of Entrepreneurship – which opened this fall – are extremely enthusiastic. The reason? Unvarnished passion to innovate, according to Kirsten Frandsen, the assistant to the director and program coordinator who gets to know every student as she answers their questions and listens to their plans.

“Writers,” says FSU Film School grad Lauren Miller Rogen, “are very communal. You can’t write by yourself – that would be a mistake.” Fortunately, Miller Rogen’s creative muse is her husband, famed actor/comedian Seth Rogen, a frequent contributor to her artistic process.
